+%   The MLA Package for LaTeX
+%   By Ryan Aycock
+%   Edited by Steven Wheelwright
+%   October 15, 2005 
+%   
+%    For use with LaTeX and pdflatex.
+%
+%   To use, 
+%   1. Put  \usepackage{mla}  in the preamble
+%   2. After the \begin{document}, put \begin{mla}{Firstname}{Lastname}{Prof's lastname}{class name}{date}{Paper title}
+%   3. Immediately - the next line - start typing your paper.
+%   4. Put   \end{mla}   just before \end{document}
+%
+%   To use the bibliography feature,
+%   1. Use  \begin{workscited} to start the bibliography.  There is no need to 
+%      declare a new page or even type "Works Cited" at the top of the page.
+%   2. Use   \bibent  before each entry.
+%   3. Put   \end{workscited} at the end.
+%
+%
+%
+%
+% The following template is what I use:
+%
+% \documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
+% \usepackage{mla}
+% \begin{document}
+% \begin{mla}{Ryan}{Aycock}{Professor's last name}{Class name}{\today}{Really Cool Title}
+% Start typing paragraph 1 here.
+%
+% Continue the rest of the paper as normal.
+%
+% \begin{workscited}
+%
+% \bibent
+% author's last name, first name.  ``Paper Title."  \textit{Book Title}.  Date of publication.
+%
+% \end{workscited}
+% \end{mla}
+% \end{document}
+%
+%
+%   Tips for writing MLA:
+%   I strongly recommend using \documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
+%   Some professors require block quotes to be singled space.  To accomplish this with 
+%      the MLA package, use the blocks and blockm environments for single paragraph and
+%      multiple paragraph cites, respectively.
+%   LaTeX will not tab the first paragraph after new sections.  To get around this, use  \tab
+%   LaTeX does not allow double spaces after periods like most term and research papers require.
+%       When typing your paper, hit the spacebar twice as normal.  After you are finished with your project, 
+%       do a find/replace by changing all double spaces into (space)\(space).
